Ketamine Therapy: A New Way to Treat Pain and Mental Health
This week on Calling in Sick, I sit down with Oli Mittermaier, Co-Founder of CIT clinics, to unpack how ketamine therapy is reshaping treatment for mental health and chronic pain. When we hear ketamine therapy, most of us have an immediate reaction: you might feel like it’s taboo and all you can think about is “drugs are BAD,” perhaps you’ve tried Ketamine therapy and it had a life changing impact on your health, or maybe you are genuinely curious what it is and how it can be used in a clinical setting and if you are a good candidate for it. No matter where you are coming from, if you listen with a bit of an open-mind, this episode is for you!
This week we dive into:
My experience with Ketamine therapy
The science behind how ketamine promotes neuroplasticity and healing
What ketamine therapy is ACTUALLY like
How to explore this therapeuritc for your own healing
Tune in for a mind-expanding discussion!
xx,
Alex
